Chapter 4: Respite

Shining woke up feeling completely warm and content. As his mind lazily drifted in and out of consciousness, he was vaguely aware of the warmth being caused by bodies on either side of him. Despite a lack of coordination in his thoughts, his facial muscles still managed to form a smile as he remembered who they were.

Twilight was behind him with her face to his back, the purple alicorn snoozing away cutely. Cadance was at his front, facing towards him, her features relaxed in sleep, beautiful even when she wasn’t trying. Her violet and gold curls fell loosely down across her face, fluttering slightly as she breathed.

Not feeling like disturbing the mares quite yet, Shining closed his eyes and attempted to doze off again. Though as he was drifting back into the oblivion of sleep, he felt Twilight wrap her hooves around him like he was a pillow. She unconsciously pulled him closer and snuggled her face into his neck scruff. With her ‘pillow’ hugged close, she settled back down into a rest. Shining followed her lead and tried to stay as still as possible to not disturb her.

Whether five minutes passed or sixty, Shining could not have told. He wandered through the semi-lucid semi-dream state of almost sleep, where coherent thought and unconscious narratives blended together and muddled each other. Visions of pussy and ass danced beneath his eyelids, though never focusing on one. Pink, white, blue, and purple flashed away as quickly as they appeared, and any attempt to single one out rapidly descended into nonsense. Celestia might don a dominatrix outfit before being frozen in time and space and printed onto a poster with the caption ‘Obey’. Twilight’s face and body deconstructed into basic lines and circles, looking squatter and less defined, a tiny grin plastered on her face and a preference for being called ‘Twiggles’. The sheer randomness and uncontrollable momentum of the dream caused a feeling of dread to form in the pit of Shining’s gut, and he woke with a start.

Eyes snapping open and breathing quickened, reality flooded back in and immediately dispelled the heady atmosphere of the dream. Shining quickly reassured himself of where he was and who he was with. Seeing that Cadance and Twilight were still with him, and looking the way that they should, he shook his head at the bizarre dream.

His distress, quick as it was, had nonetheless been noted. Both Twilight and Cadance began to stir when they felt Shining squirm and fidget between them.

“Are you okay, Shining?” Cadance asked, her eyes open and looking over at her husband with concern.

“Yeah, sorry to disturb you. I just had a really weird dream,” he responded, feeling guilty for having woken them up.

“Oh, did you want to talk about it at all?” Cadance offered.

“Nah, I don’t even know what it was about,” Shining said.

“Okay, if that’s what you want,” Cadance said. “But remember, we’re always here to talk if you want. Even if it’s about random stuff in your dreams.”

“Yeah,” Twilight chimed in, “Even something that seems to have no meaning can actually be hiding subconscious desires and feelings. And it can be good to discuss them with others. I’ve done it with Spike sometimes.”

“So, you getting turned into a cartoon version of yourself taking a bath with a toaster has a secret meaning to it?” Shining said incredulously.

Twilight stopped mid-thought, mouth gaping slightly in surprise. “Okay, fair point. I have no idea what that would mean,” she admitted.

“Well, if Shining doesn’t want to talk about it, let’s not press him,” Cadance said calmly. “We can talk whenever he likes, and in the meantime, there’s plenty of other things we can dedicate our time together towards,” she said with a lusty grin. “Don’t think I’ve forgotten the promise I made last night. You two still owe me a bit of fun,” she said, pulling the covers off and rising from the bed to take a position over Twilight and Shining.

The smaller alicorn looked positively ecstatic at this development, and returned Cadance’s grin in kind. Shining as well prepared himself for yet another bout of sex, and could feel his shaft stiffening just at the thought of a threesome with his two favorite ponies in the world.

Just as the three ponies were about to get things started, however, they were interrupted by a loud rumbling noise. Slightly embarrassed, Twilight realized that it was her stomach complaining.

“I kinda skipped dinner last night… I was just too excited to eat…” she said, now acutely feeling the hunger take hold.

“Silly Twily. Still acting like you did when you were a little foal,” Shining teased his sister. “Tell you what, you two have some fun. I think I can live with missing one orgy, I’ll go make us some breakfast,” he said, moving to get out of bed and from underneath Cadance.

“Oh, thank you, honey. I’d enjoy a cinnamon bun if you’re taking requests,” Cadance said.

“And maybe a banana,” Twilight added, peeking out from underneath Cadance’s legs.

“Alright, noted. I’ll be back in a bit,” Shining said as he left to find the food. He took one glance back behind him as he was at the door, and saw Cadance and Twilight already engaged in a deep kiss. Ignoring his growing erection for now, he headed out to make good on his offer.

By the time Shining had grabbed a tray with a few bowls of oatmeal, some glasses of orange juice, and the other requested snacks, Twilight and Cadance had already advanced to full-on tribbing. As he peeked back into the room, he could hear Twilight gasping in pleasure even before he could see anything. To accompany these noises was the nut-melting sight of Cadance grinding her pussy into Twilight’s, while also giving affectionate licks and kisses across her neck and muzzle. Shining could tell from the tempo and volume of Twilight’s noises that she was getting close, and sure enough, just a few seconds after he had reentered the room, she let out one final cry of ecstasy. Her body seemed to go rigid for a few seconds, waves of pleasure causing her to quake and tremble, before snapping like a string and slumping down into a post-coital bliss.

Cadance, seeing this, slowed her own movements to match Twilight’s. She didn’t stop pleasuring the smaller alicorn, but rather tried to slowly ease her into a state of resting pleasure after such a chaotic high.

“Well, it looks like you two had some fun,” Shining quipped in a teasing tone.

“The Princess of Love knows how to leave her partner pleased, no matter the situation,” Cadance boasted.

Twilight, still drowsing, could only nod in agreement.

“I hope you’ve still got enough energy to eat,” Shining said, setting the tray down a coffee table strewn with papers. Moving some of them off, he began to divide up the food into three place settings.

“Hungry enough to eat a horse,” Twilight said without pause. “Oh wait, I probably will,” she added, eyeing Shining’s nether regions with a completely different type of hunger.

“As much as I would welcome that, let’s at least wait until we’ve gotten some actual food in our stomachs. No sense rutting on an empty tank,” Shining said.

Abandoning her teasing, Twilight dutifully made her way over to the food, Cadance following close behind. Though their manes and fur were still somewhat disheveled from their activities, both took care to place napkins on their lap to catch any crumbs before beginning to eat.

Nibbling daintily on her cinnamon bun, Cadance had her eyes closed and an expression of dreamy pleasure on her face as she enjoyed the burst of sweetness across her tongue. As she savored the sensations, she also mentally reminded herself to thank the one who had brought her the little treat.

“Mmm, thank you for the food Shining, It’s nice of you to be so thoughtful of your mares, especially when it meant giving up a chance at another bout with us,” she thanked him.

“Heh, it’s no problem at all. I’ll do whatever I can to help you both. And truth be told, I hardly mind the break,” Shining admitted, idly stirring his oatmeal around its bowl with his spoon.

“Oh? Did you not want to join in?” Cadance asked.

“It’s not that really, at least, not that I didn’t want to have sex with you both. Sometimes it just feels a little much. I mean, I thought I’d never be with anypony beyond you. And here I am with four alicorn princesses,” Shining professed. He inhaled heavily, looking across the table at his wife and his sister. Both had their gaze affixed to him, purple eyes wide with worry.

“Do you want to talk now?” Cadance offered, seeing her husband’s distress.

“Might as well. It’s not like anything’s going to change much. From what I understand, nothing has changed for hundreds of years already. I’m just the next in line. Expendable, and forgettable.”

“Well, that’s not really a fair judgment to make. What can any of us really say about how Celestia and Luna act without any comparable experience of our own? They’ve been alive for thousands of years, almost anypony would seem forgettable to them,” Twilight said. “And at the end of the day, who’s opinion of you really carries the most weight? Your rulers, or your family? That’s how Celestia and Luna go about it too, that’s why they still focus on each other more than anypony else.”

“That just opens up a whole new can of worms. What will things be like in a thousand years for you both? Will I be reduced to faded memory and dust? Merely the first in a long line of lovers?” Shining pondered. Hanging his head, he felt dread form in his gut. “I don’t mean to sound possessive or anything, but it hardly makes me feel better to know that my wife and my sister are going to outlive me and inevitably forget about me.”

At this, Cadance and Twilight looked at each other. Twilight raised her eyebrow in silent question, and after a moment of deliberation, Cadance nodded in response.

“Actually, that’s at least one thing you won’t have to worry about,” Cadance began.

“What?” Shining asked, raising his head to look her in the eye.

“We’re not actually immortal, not even the same way Celestia and Luna are. They’re natural-born alicorns, we’re only ascended to the status. We have all the powers and responsibilities, but not the lifespan. We’ll only live as long as any other pony. It’s actually part of why Celestia plans to abdicate eventually. She hopes that Equestria will benefit more from rulers born and bred in the modern times, rather than just one ruler for the rest of its existence. Starting with Twilight, the throne will be passed down from generation to generation so that the government might more fluidly evolve along with the society,” Cadance explained.

“Wow. I had no idea… I just thought all alicorns were immortal. And to think… Twilight becoming the ruler of Equestria… now that would be a future I’d love to see,” Shining said as he smiled in relief.

“Of course, it only took you dating and being married to an alicorn for several years to find out. And having your little sister and lover become an alicorn too,” Twilight pointed out.

“Shining Armor, I love you, but sometimes you are a moron,” Cadance said, though her tone and grin made it clear that her statement lacked any malice.

Shining awkwardly rubbed the back of his head with a hoof and replied “Like I said, it wasn’t really something I liked to think about. And the inner mechanics of the alicorn species and princessdom aren’t really something I’m all that privy too. For most of that time, I was officially still just a guard after all. Meant to follow orders rather than come up with them. At least in regards to the ruling class.”

“Well, now you’re a prince yourself. And these are the realities we all have to deal with, sooner or later,” Twilight said.

At this, Shining became lost in thought as something bounced around in his head. Pinning it down finally, he opened up again. “Then what would that mean if we ever wanted to have kids?” he asked, looking to both Twilight and Cadance. “If they’re born as an alicorn, then we just have the same problem all over again.”

It was Cadance who answered this time, “To tell you the truth, we’re not exactly sure. For starters, Celestia and Luna are still technically a different type of alicorn. They descend from a whole species, same as any unicorn, pegasus, or earth pony. So even if a child Twilight or I have is born as an alicorn, they still wouldn’t necessarily have that lineage in them. They may just inherit our lifespans. They may not even be born an alicorn at all, given the mixed-blood involved.”

As Cadance spoke, a blush slowly spread across Twilight’s face. She grew hot and antsy just at the thought of having a child, especially with Shining. This development did not go unnoticed, Cadance grinning at the emotions she could sense from the younger alicorn.

“My my, it seems somepony likes the idea of having her brother’s foals,” Cadance teased. “Not even I’ve had that honor.”

Twilight merely let out a ‘meep’ and attempted to bury her face in her napkin.

Shining could never let an opportunity to tease his little sister pass by, and so joined in. “Who knows, maybe she’s been scheming to get pregnant this whole time. She certainly seemed receptive to it last night,” he said, egging her on.

Twilight was now almost completely hidden beneath the table, only the downturned tips of her ears still visible. “Noooo…” she whined, getting increasingly flustered. What neither Shining nor Cadance could see however was how she was still hiding a smile fighting its way out over her embarrassed expression, and just how much her loins were heating up at the idea of motherhood.

Mercifully, Cadance and Shining did allow her a bit of respite to recollect herself. Rather than adding any more teasing to the pile, they simply enjoyed the show of the tiny purple pony giggling and squealing as she worked up the courage to come out from her hiding place. Cadance had a vivid memory back to when she and Twilight would build pillow forts together, and she would perch atop the couch to ambush Twilight once she left the fort’s safety.

Finally, slowly, Twilight inched her way out from beneath the table, her face lit up like she had just drank an entire bottle of Cloudsdale rainbow mix. Staring across the table at her tormentors, she attempted to switch the conversation back to a more serious tone.

“Despite what you pervs might think, I do entertain the idea of children beyond just an impregnation fetish.”

Recognizing Twilight’s shift in tone, Cadance and Shining shifted their goofy smiles to more sober and serious expressions. Their mouths set in straight lines, eyes looking forward intently, the absolute picture of two ponies ready to listen.

“To tell you the truth, I wouldn’t mind having foals someday. I’d be willing to wait until maybe you two had some together, since you’re older and actually married and all. But it is something I might want eventually,” she paused, and began to smile warmly as she fantasized. “Being a mother isn’t my immediate concern, right now I’m still more focused on learning the ropes of this Princess thing. And that’ll go double if I ever succeed Celestia, but I would consider it. It would be the ultimate teaching responsibility. To impart more than can be learned in any classroom. To help shape the life of an entire pony.”

Shining and Cadance couldn’t help but fantasize along with her, each of them party to their own idealized version of parenthood. Cadance yearned for the feeling of holding her newborn mere hours after bringing them into the world, just the beginning of a whole new life of joy and love. Shining imagined all the dad jokes he could tell, teasing his children with his poor sense of humor and embarrassing them at the same time as they secretly enjoyed it. And Twilight thought of how her foal might look up to her, taking inspiration from her presence and guidance.

But of course, none of these dreams were the present, and they eventually had to return to reality.

“As much as I love the idea of having kids eventually, I agree with Twilight that they’re not an immediate concern,” Cadance mentioned, drawing the others out of their own daydreams. “I suggest we live in the now, and I think we all have a very good idea on how to spend it.” All three of them grinned together, and their heads swiveled back over to the bed. “Let’s keep our contraceptives for the time being.”
